38. Please understand that the Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded to community heroes

I agree that he should get some kind of award, although people like him are not after awards, his award is to see people's smiles.

To make sure everyone understands what the requirements for a Nobel Peace Award is:

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

Its not enough to do community work, it is "between nations".
